Not a fan of Joshua but.....

Still a bum

 

AJ looked just like he did vs Ruiz when people say he quit. I don't think he quit. He's literally seeing stars and is out of it.

 

That was a monster shot for the first knockdown and nobody can say that Joshua did not do brilliant to get up from it,no doubt the bell ringing played its part otherwise that in all likelihood would have been a first round stoppage loss .

 

AJ should just retire. He has made his money, more than I'm sure he ever dreamed of, what is the point of going on?. Why take punches like that when you are set for life? Call it a day AJ

 

Yeah he showed a lot of heart and when it looked like he was going to be stopped instead of trying to just survive or quit he decided to go out on his shield and went out throwing bombs. But he seems to have picked up a bad habit again of sitting down and not moving after he throws, every time he did that, Dubois clocked him with a hard shot and that's exactly what happened with the KO. Lands a bomb, follows up but after throwing is still there to be hit by the counter and gets KO'ed.

 

Yeah he's not a quitter but I don't particularly care for the whole pity praise for fighters fighting on. He got beat up badly, there's no real positives to take from that in my opinion. You're a boxer, not quitting is kind of minimum expectations of you.

 

Actually he was about to finish off Dubois in round 5, but acted careless. It was an embarrassing KO in front of all those people. He lost much of his fan base.

 

Actually agree. If that bomb had landed thirty seconds earlier the fight would never have got out the first round.

 

AJ's chin is so bad he can't actually quit because he's like a piece of jelly who doesn't know where he is.

He would have put his hands up in the first Ruiz fight and would have been able to get chinned over again if his brain wasn't fried by KFC Ruiz.

 

Because he has a ridiculous ego. He has a really fragile ego too. Just look at his meltdown after Usyk fight. It’s clearly not just about money for him, he genuinely wanted to be a great fighter and leave a champion legacy. His ego is so big that he’ll push for the rematch and convince himself he can win. Why do you think he just kept switching trainers?

 

He just couldn't get a handle on the fight. DD put it on him and was relentless. DD was much more relaxed and wasn't effected by the magnitude of the event.
AJ appeared very nervous before and during the fight

 

Fury getting up is the story of his career and what he will be remembered for. To level up with Usyk would be befitting for his retirement..
